This is the latest window AC price (Air Conditioners) list brand wise and tonnage wise with power consumption comparison. This table will give you a clear comparison on how much price difference per brand is their with how much tonnage capacity. However the prices mentioned here could vary from place to place.

We do not guarantee the prices written here are the actual prices on which these air conditioners are available in market. So, do let us know on what price you bought which model AC from where, that is going to be very helpful for all other readers. You can share the prices in comments. And when you search for any product price, rely most on e-commerce website prices who actually sells the product or of the local market. Relying on prices from any other source online will not give you a satisfactory answer. The prices i have given here are the dealers price. Hence, these will definitely vary from place to place.

Disclaimer: Product information of Whirlpool given in online brochure and online listing were some different and there is lots of confusion which one to rely on. So, the stats given for Whirlpool here could be wrong too.

I have taken utmost care to avoid any mistake while doing entries, since it can ruin the comparison. Also i am adding some FAQ’s (frequently asked questions) related to air conditioners. Hope this is going to be very useful for all my readers.

Q 1: What is 1.0T of refrigeration?

Ans: Amount of heat to be removed from 1.0T (1000 kg) of ice in order to convert it into water, within closed envolepe, in 24 hours, on or at 0 deg C.

Q 2: What is EER?

Ans: EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) is ratio of air conditioner cooling output compared to the power air conditioner consumes. Hence, higher the EER ratio, you’ll have more savings in electricity savings bills.

Q 3: How to Calculate Air Conditioner Power (Energy) Consumption?

Ans: You can use following steps to calculate power consumption of your air conditioner on basis of Power Input required by it. You can find out this value in technical specifications provided by product manufacturer:

I am assuming 8 hours normal working hours of air conditioner in a day.

Ans: Buying an AC with right tonnage capacity is very important for every consumer. Buying an air conditioner with wrong capacity can lead to higher power (energy) consumption and also cooling loss can happen if you bought an AC lower than the capacity required.

There is a straight thumb rule for choosing capacities as per your room area:

Upto 100 Sq. Feet = 0.75/0.8 Ton

100 – 120 Sq. Feet = 1 Ton

120 – 160 Sq. Feet = 1.5 Ton

160 – 200 Sq. Feet = 2 Ton

I have explained this calculation in more detail in this post. However, there are some exceptions for this rule which depends upon the direct exposure of sunlight to the room, Floor on which the flat is constructed etc.

Split AC price list will be published soon as i am currently working on it. That list is becoming so big because every company as a bigger range of Split AC’s rather than of window’s AC. And if you got any question related this article, please ask them without any hesitation.

Hello Mr.Ankit, I am planning to buy a window AC for my living area, approx 500sq ft, we will be using them only when we have guest visiting us for 3/4 hrs may be once or twice a month, I have short listed 1.5 ton LG 5BR, and Blue Star, retailers are pushing Blue Star over LG, which one do you recommend. Thanks. Rajeev

Never believe marketing guys when they push smaller brand over the big and respected ones like LG. My recommendation definitely goes for LG. Do email me your conact nos. at info@reviewcenter.in. I can help you in much more better way for buying the right AC for such a big place.

Help

Dear Ankit, I live in Kolkata. I intend buying a 1.5T 3Star Window A/c for my room. I’ve been advised to go in for Copper-Coil A/c’s as they last long & save power. Further, i’m being advised to buy 1)Hitachi 2)Carrier & 3)Blue Star in that order. I’ve heard Blue Star a/c’s are good, but hear misleading reports about their after-sales-service,which is important to me!! The same is being told about LG a/c’s & Reputed shops here have discontinued both these brands after customer-complaints about poor-service!! Brother, Please advice which brand i should go for/buy?? Longevity/Cooling/Economy & Service are all important for me.

Jeetu, BTU of Onida window is at par with OGeneral, besides that it also has a copper coil & condenser & price is very competative, Blue Star & Hitachi BTU is low in comparison to OG. Carrier does not use copper coil. Recently LG has gone down on quality of their pipes you may have to carry out major repairs for leakages from coil or replace since leakages on alluminium cannot be repaired. So Onida fits the choice.

Jeetu, I do not agree to your point that LG has gone down on quality of pipes. This is just a myth created by other dealers in market. LG is using latest technology which is just not getting easy adopted by market because of old thinking of people and because of myths being created by offline dealers. That’s it.

i have been using onida ac ….although when you go to market wat you will find is that there specifications are same that of o general or hitachi or bluestar …..bt when it comes to performance of ac hitachi or o general or bluestar are far far ahead so its better to go for the company which is master in its own field and its better to spent more money once than feeling dissatisfaction

Window AC - Carrier Midea

Iam looking to buy a 1.0T window AC. Any reviews on the Carrier Midea new models – i got a competitive quote for 1.0T,3* model – but worried on service & after sales support since it is a JV. I currently have an old A/C Carrier, but have got good service from the local Carrier authorised service center for past 8+ years. The service team claim it will be serviced by Carrier authorised center – but it is too early & do not know how it would be in the long run.

I have bought a Voltas 1 Ton 3-star Window AC with EER of 2.81, cooling capacity: 3350 Watt and Power Consumption: 1192 Watt for a room of around 160 sq ft in the top floor of a building with north facing windows.

Would the unit efficiently cool my room or should I have gone for a higher Ton unit?

Provided it runs for 8 hrs a day, what would be the no. of units consumed in a month?

Since you have house at top floor, 160 sq ft area with north facing windows, I would have recommended 1.5 Ton AC for effective and faster cooling. Obviously 1 ton also should do the work, but it would take bit more time to cool the room and you’ll need to keep your doors closed too most of the time for maintaining cooling. Also, brand wise, I would have recommended you LG rather than Voltas when you had such specific requirement.

Also, compressor run cuts shall be less and it shall be working most of the time for you. So, assuming only 1 hour cut in 8 hours running of compressor per day, your monthly power consumption shall be:

AC buying Guidance

Hi Ankit,

I am currently looking Window ac for my medium(small) size room. After going through almost all the articles I have decided to buy 1 ton with 3 star window ac. But I am in dilemma due to different brands avilable in market. O general seems to be best but it doesn’t have 1 ton with 3 start AC instead they are having 1 ton with 2 star & also I haven’t read much negative feedbacks or reviews on after sale services (bit costly). Voltas being an Indian brand and considering all my requirements is a perfect match (in my budget too). But after sale services are really a concern. Even I have seen Bluestar too. Kindly suggest/guide me in this. It would be really helpful if I can get some advice from a researcher like you :)

I would never recommend you buying Voltas over LG. LG is 10 times much better brand when compared to Voltas. You can definitely go for option 2 you said above since it also have better after sales service over Voltas and Hitachi.

window AC

Please increase your budget limit for buying a good branded air conditioner. Over the 3 choices you said, I would highly recommend you LG because of best after sales service, latest technology and better running life of the product.

Hi..I am looking for a windows ac for around 130 sq . The room is at ground floor without direct sunlight facing. It normally remains cool during peak hot hours. If I wanna go for a ac ..plz suggests the ton along with the brand. If you can suggest any model ..den it would be great..m in Noida.

I would suggest you going for LG window AC as per your requirements and model no. shall be L-Bliss LWA3BR3F (1 ton 3 star), L-Gratis LWA3GR3F (1 ton, 3 star) or L-Prima LWA3PR5F (1 ton, 5 star). You can choose any model out of these 3 as per your budget.

Every AC whether window or Split requires an annual maintenance and generalising any difference won’t help you in any manner. Price difference is huge because of technology and manufacturing cost. Power consumption also depends as per the model you buy.

window or split

I want to buy an ac for my top floor(150sqft). we have lots of humidity in weather.please suggest which one(window or split with same ton and star value) should i buy in terms of faster cooling and low electric bill. also please suggest any model.

Buy any LG split AC 5 star rated or the inverter series (except L-Ultra series) which shall be best for you since you live at top floor. Since, at top floor, you’ll require your compressor to work all the time to keep you indoor condition optimum, then rather than buying a conventional AC, you should go for inverter V series AC’s. Why i am recommending LG here because of the feature of De-humidification (also known as monsoon comfort) which is quiet different from other companies AC’s De-humidification process. L-Energia series shall be an ideal choice for you since having good filters like plasmaster ionizer in ur AC is also required since you live in top floor.

Yes, split AC’s are better when it comes to power consumption with same star ratings when compared with window AC’s. You’ll find a 5 star rated split AC, rated power input shall be 1530 watts whereas for same, window AC power input shall be 1600 watts. Plus i won’t comment much on maintenance since no matter whether it is a Split or Window, both should be get serviced on time. And yes, you’ll get faster cooling on split AC’s since it cools down more area at once.

Carrier window AC 1.5T 3***

Is it true that Carrier Estrella R GWRAC018ER010 has a cooling capacity of 18700 BTU with a power consumption of 1861W? Is Carrier using Copper coils? What parts are required servicing in a window AC? Considering Longevity, Economy, Cost & Service, which brand’s model is better in Chennai? Thank you.

1 ton or 1.5 ton split ac

Hello ankit, Hope u doing well. I am planing to buy split AC. My room size 12*10 facing sunlight since 1:00pm. Should i go for 1 ton or 1.5 ton? I think to buy 1.5 tone but i m worry that may be 1.5 ton AC bigger as per my my room size and thus become more expensive in electricity bill. Does 1 ton AC enough for me? because my room face sunlight so i wirry that it take more time to cool and thus gain become more expensive.

Well, if your 1 TON AC is direct sun facing, it would take some time in cooling the room, but will do it. It’s not like that 1 TON won’t be able to cool down your room. The only thing required from your side is to keep the door closed most of the time. But the compressor shall work for more time to keep the room cool. There are few factors like how much is the window area, for how many hours you’re going to run it in day time when required. and If you would buy 1.5 Ton, room cooling rate shall be faster and compressor shall work for lower period. And then if cost is not an issue for you, then you should go for 1.5 TON and worry not for electricity consumption as compressor running time shall be low. If you want to save money and comfortable that your AC may take some extra minutes in cooling your room, you can buy 1 TON AC.

Lg or O'General

Hello Mr.Ankit, I am planning to buy a window AC for my living area, approx 270sq ft (15*18), I have short listed 2 ton LG and O’General. Retailers are pushing O’General over LG because of power consumption, which one do you recommend. I am really confused. Please help me out. I need to buy it urgently. Thanks, Aanchal

1.5 Ton Window or Split AC

Dear Sir,

I am confused how type 1.5 Ton AC install in my house window or split, which will be give me long life service and Power save. Please also refer company Brand which will be install and model no. Thanks Sumanta Ghosh

Dear, I live in Kolkata. I intend buying a 1.5T 5Star split A/c for my room. I’ve been advised to go in for Copper-Coil A/c’s as they last long & save power. Further, i’m being advised to buy 1)Hitachi 2)Carrier 3)Blue Star 4)Lg &5)Dickin in that order.

Longevity/Cooling/Economy/Save Power & Service are all important for me.

You’re being totally mis-leaded by people. You just need to reverse the list keeping LG at first, then Diakin. LG has best after sales service anywhere in India. If you want to believe me, go for LG or Diakin. And just keep out points of copper AC’s n all and trust brand and technology they sell.

Sir, are you in AC business? Do you write about air conditioners? Can you guarantee superb after sales service with Hitachi? How much experience you have in understanding sales in big volume and providing them direct after sales service directly from the company? Why are you forcing me to recommend a brand of whom I have heard only complaints? Why not you do some research and read comments on the Hitachi articles on my website. I would be grateful.

Hello

I am planning to buy a 1.5 ton window AC. Type of Star rated will depend on the budget. Currently I am stuck between Voltas and Panasonic. If I am going for a Panasonic, I can go for a 2 star however if I am going through with Voltas I can go for a 5 Star. The point and question here is if Voltas is the right selection. I am getting mixed responses. Kindly help.

compressor

confussed

hi,

My name is vikas gupta. My residence is in delhi. I need a window ac, but confused to buy which one. My room is on ground floor. Its area is 10x12x12. It contains a window 4×3. And two roshandan of 1.5×1. and two doors of 6×3. My house have 3 floors. A water drainage is near my house approx 400mtr away. We will use this A/C around 8-10hrs/day. Please suggest me a cheap and energy saving a/c. Some mechanic visited my room and told me to go for 1ton A/C. I already have 3 star 1.5ton voltage window A/C installed on first floor. But am not satisfied with its cooling, and two times its gas leaked and it is very energy consuming, it takes around 10 units in 6 hours of running. So, please suggest a better one which is having copper coils/condenser. Somebody told me i should go for a copper coil a/c. My budget is 30,000 maximum.

So please reply the best A/C’s for me, and if i go for window a/c or split one.

Going for Split is fine. For your room area and since it’s at ground floor, 1 TON is sufficient for you. And felt sorry that voltas didn’t performed as per your expectations. If you want to go for my advice, you can choose LG LSA3AT3D model. And please do not fall for this myths of having only copper condensor air conditioners. This AC i suggested must be priced approx your budget limit and is the best option for you.

Maintanance Cost

Owing an AC and worrying about yearly maintenance? There is not much difference between these two. And yearly maintenance means getting it serviced once in year or maximum twice. And usually this servicing costs between 250 to 500 varying from area to area and company to company. But no matter what, always get your AC serviced by company service persons only.

confused within companies, not a high budget

Room size 9*12*10,mid flr, no direct sunlight, one small window towards shaft with ac space in it. Need window ac but budget is low. Godrej gwc18gq3 getting in 22500/- without stabilizer,1.5ton. Should go?? Or else which one.

Window AC HITACHI or BLUESTAR

I stay on 7th floor which is not directly exposed to sunlight but is very hot during siummers. We are planning to buy window AC for our bedroom which is about 200 sqft. we want to go for 5 star 1.5 tonne AC and have finally choosed 2 brand of 2015 model i.e. HITACHI and BLUESTAR. Price and features are almost same for both the models. would you please help me out in deciding which one to buy. ( also if LG would be the better choice with same features and price)

Ac capicity by sq/ft as well spilt/window

Dear I am lookin a ac but i am not understanding that how much capicty ac i required. I have 2 room, 1 kichen all of three joint together participation by dor only. 1 room size 12″9″9″(full ventikation) and second room attache with 1st by gate size 10″9″9″(ventilation problem) also kichen attach with 1rooom. Kindly suggest me 1 economic ac option which cover all area. Also tell me brand or window/split option. Thx Shiv singh delhi

I couldn’t understand, you require an AC to cool down both room, not Kitchen right. Also, do you have any wall facing both rooms, so that cooling may reach the required places. If you think, you’ll place an AC in one room, and then since 2nd room entrance gate is in 1st room only, and you want to cool down that other room too, then i must remind you, 2nd room won’t get an effective cooling. Also, if you’re tied with budget issue, can you place an exhaust in one room, facing towards another, so that cooling of the room in 1st room keep getting passed to another and ofcourse 1st room is being cooled down by the AC?

Split A/C with MINIMUM POWER CONSUMPTION

Dear sir, I am in Tamilnadu. Room size is only 12′ x 8′ x 9.5′ height with two doors of size 3’x7′ and a window of size 3’x4′ . The room is at ground floor with terrace roof. There is no first floor.

Do check in your area which brand has best after sales service. Usually LG/Daikin are are good in after sales service. I am not very sure of Carrier though. Although i won’t deny you for buying Carrier.

Need suggestion for buying AC

Hello Dear Ankit,

Iam from Hyderabad, and have to decide on taking an AC for my home. We have a Hall of size 28′ x 12′ x 10′(H). and during day time all my family members(7nos) mostly will be in the hall and during night we go to our bedrooms(which are adjacent to Hall). Please suggest which AC (Window or Split) will be suitable and economical and how much tonnage. We have good space surrounding.

Need suggestion

Going a bit higher on your budget, recommending you 3 star AC at least. LG LWA3BP3F or LG LWA3GP3A or Bluestar 3W12GA. You can even look at Panasonic ACs. For the maintenance part, Split is more convenient than Window, as, for servicing Windows AC, service person needs to take out complete AC for wet cleaning. But if Outdoor unit of split AC is not installed at an easily accessible place, that becomes cumbersome too. Hence, choose as per your need and scenario. If you’re tight on budget, go for Windows AC.

Query 2: In addition, I would also like to know few good brand for 2 Ton Split A/C for my Drawing and Dining room (Both are connected and is a big hall.), on the above criteria. The consumption would be more than 1000 hrs yearly.

WINOW LG AC 1.5 TON

Your drain line is plugged, you can blow air into the tube and clear the drain line or get the air conditioner wet serviced. And that issue is not related to electricity consumption. Run in power saver mode if your AC has. You’ll save many units daily.

Panasonic, haier, sharp or voltas?

09717287328

Hi ankit, thanks for a ton of useful information about cooling in this whacky summer.. Can I use a 0.75ton window Ac on the counter in a shop(kept out side with only the face of the ac inside.) rest front area covered with plastic sheets to insulate. Shop size is 9ft*15ft hight is 12 ft.. Will it work?

First thing, you must not insulate the AC openings with any plastic sheets. Plus, since I assume you have a long shop, and with floor area of 135 sqft. you must consider having 1 TON AC, not 0.8 tonnage.

So confused Hitachi or LG

so confused between hitachi, Whirlpool , LG kindly help 1.5T 3Star Hitachi Kaze looks good, but being in delhi and dry summer people are saying hitachi is not so good and after sale service is not that easy. or should i go for LG- L- Crescent, little worried since i am not a much of a user of LG.

hey ankit! i have to purchase a 1.5 ton window ac for my room, it has got to be a 5 star and power efficient as it would be in working condition for about 8 hrs a day. My budget ~Rs.30,000. Plz suggest the best option for me ASAP. Thanks :)

Window ac needed

Hi Ankit, I was looking for ac information on Google..just found your site..such a informative site..first of all kudo to ur knowledge on this and very well answered to each n every quries..i too have questions..I m looking for Windows ac for a big hall exact area size I don’t remember..I can say 2 double bed can come in that area and lots of space are still there..can u pls suggest a good window ac..my most important concern is electricity..cause unit charges is 12rs per unit..pls suggest which can fit as per my requirement. Thanks Renu

For such a big room and such high electricity charges, I would suggest you to keep your sitting arrangements nearby where you’ll install the AC. It doesn’t make sense to cool down every corner of the room by buying high tonnage AC, especially in your case when electricity charges are so high. Still, for such big room, although you might require 2 TON AC, but I would recommend buying 1.5 TON and keep your sitting arrangements nearby to it. Pick LG window AC 5 star rated, will work good for you.

About AC electricity bill

Ankit, i have purchased Blue star 1.5 ton 5star 5W18LC window AC. Its consumption power is 1530W and cooling capacity is 5060W.I used this AC for 8 hours in a day. Please can you tell me how much will be the electricity bill in a month.

Power savings

I am using a 10 years old Voltas window ac and its serving well. With increasing power rates, I am wondering if there will be significant savings if I were to replace it with a new split ac. The newer ones claim low power consumption. I am unable to tell you specified power consumption of the window unit in use. Any advice?
